When Jesus was raised from the dead
it was a signal of the end of death-as-the-end.

Romans 6:5–6 msg

 

     You Gotta Love it!  “It was the signal of the end of death-as-the-end.”

     God says you’ve won!  Jesus rose and that signals the end of fear of sickness; that signals the end of fear of tribulation; that signals the end of fear of DEATH.  Why, there is no more death, just a time of change.

     Because we know he was raised, we can now believe the rest of the story of Jesus.
